Plagiarism is not really something to be compared with the criminal act and if your school taught in that way then its wrong way, plagiarism is ethically wrong so no one should practice it but as long as they are giving credits to the original creator then its okay.
Also there is a lot of confusion between plagiarism and getting inspired by!
Then you should probably look up what the definition of "plagiarism" is because it seems like you're also confused in this case.  Posting with source/credit: sharing (not plagiarism, assuming properly cited) Posting without source/credit: plagiarism (can definitely get you in serious problems, depending on local laws) |

I see this as a sign that CT didn't have a competitive product compared to Chainalysis and Elliptic.
Or why else would they sell when the government's crazy batshit is just starting to take off?
Maybe because the deal was too good to not accept? Companies selling out to bigger companies ain't anything new, even if the acquired company totally dominates it's niche/industry. There's a reason why negotiations exist in the first place— for both the buyer and seller to reach a certain price where both parties will be happy. |

That's what I was going to recommend--why waste money on a HW wallet just to store bitcoin? Assuming you're going to keep it long-term, it would be so much cheaper and probably more convenient to transfer your bitcoin to an Electrum wallet, write down or stamp the seed phrase into a piece of metal and keep it in a safe place. You'd have to basically do the same thing with a HW wallet anyway, right?
This could be a great idea, assuming that the user actually knows how to generate a wallet safely in an air-gapped manner(which is like a very small minority of bitcoiners). But since OP is asking which hardware wallet to use, what are the chances? Just paying the $70 for a reputable hardware wallet is the way to go in 99.9% of cases. |

BTCPay Server is probably the most recommended payment processor around here, so I would suggest you have a look at it. BTC pay server will basically do everything for you. Also, BTCPay supports Lightning, which is a great plus: https://docs.btcpayserver.org/LightningNetwork/Take note that depending on your technical knowledge, you might need some help from some devs. As far as I know the easier path is to use Coinbase commerce, which I know people won't recommend, but it might be your only option if you want it to be implemented seamlessly. |

That's also the good thing about having KYC to have more security rather than anonymity. But its not only the bases so we can be more secured with our coins. We should also be responsible and careful when choosing exchanges and as much as possible, DYOR first so we can have those legit and reliable ones wherein our real identities will also be safe and secured.
How is having KYC increase security though? Though I never recommend unnecessarily leaving funds on exchanges, Binance has fared really well in the past few years with them not requiring KYC(for sub 2 BTC withdrawals). Having KYC means even your personal security is actually harmed if it's the case that the exchange's KYC database gets breached. (e.g. Ledger database breach) |

I think USA has just more dumb people that the 1% can control so they can control the country. I mean look at the rampant increase of people not believing in science in USA, it's not a dictatorship, it's just that the country has just more dumb people.
Whether you agree if a certain content should be censored or not, the notable thing is— the fact that they can and they're actually censoring content. The fact that they can use censorship to push certain narratives. |

I don't understand the swallow hardware yet. Can you share a little knowledge about the hardware wallet that you recommend. Can you share a little knowledge with me about Ledger/Trezo. Like how the Ledger/Trezo wallet works and is secure. I want to save the little btc I have. Is it safe if I save for the next few years.
There are so much information about hardware wallets(or wallets in general) on the web that you're better off doing research. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1631151.0https://cryptosec.info/wallets
EDIT: uhh.. should you know about hardware wallets by now? 🧐  |

The Coldcard[1] wallet is probably the hardware wallet with the highest reputation among the hardcore bitcoiners. The UX can be really tough though, depending on how knowledgeable you are. It's pretty much just for a select demographic so my common recommendations are still Ledger/Trezor.

The simple fact that the HDDs last more or less 80 days alone. Imagine the amounts of landfill of unnecessarily wasted HDDs. Seriously, we'd be wasting a lot less resources in general if other cryptocurrencies would just stop trying to beat Bitcoin's PoW. Though far more centralized, at least PoS is far less resource wasteful(and the fact that it's not trying to beat bitcoin).

Ain't it funny how we always look for things/entities to blame when bitcoin drops, whereas we mostly just totally accept it and point to "AdOpTiOn!!!1!" when the movement is a spike upward?

Bitcoin is one of the best cryptocurrency tokens.
Bitcoin is a coin, not a token. A certain crypto-asset is a "token" if it's a sort of subset of a cryptocurrency. e.g. Ethereum ERC-20 tokens, Binance Smart Chain's BEP-20 tokens, Solana SPL tokens, etc. |

Bitcoin should be exchanged, traded regularly. It is the value created from trading and holding. Holders create scarcity. I am thinking of many conspiracies around Bitcoin that holders can create like a big dump, big pump. In the end, they will all be Big Gollums.
I mean, think about it: if they're actually hodlers, how can they cause a "big dump"? As their coins are pretty much taken off the markets in the first place. But regardless, then again, you can do whatever you want with your coins. |

The requirements of the Bitcoin ATM will depend on what country you're in and what Bitcoin ATM "brand" you're going to use in the first place. My recommendation: use peer-to-peer exchanges instead, because chances are, you're going to overpay quite a bit using a local Bitcoin ATM. |

tl;dr it's for privacy purposes. With bitcoin being bought from non-kyc exchanges, it means that affiliation between the you and the coins will be significantly harder. Whether it's for tax avoidance, for sketchy payments purposes, or just simply the fact that the person is privacy paranoid(which isn't really a bad thing).

Re: Shall We Hold Our Bitcoin Like Gollum?
You know what you should do? Whatever the heck you want! And I'm totally serious and didn't say that in an aggressive manner. If you disagree that bitcoin shouldn't be for hodling but instead used as a currency, then you're free to use it as a currency, and vice versa. That's the beauty of it— freedom to do whatever you want with it. |

Here's a tip: Before actually spending your money and making cryptocurrency investments, probably learn about what you're buying first. And no coin is safe from dropping down in price significantly. https://coindesk.com/learn |

Nope, they were supposed to get $30 in bitcoin, so right now they didn't get a discount but a 10% shave since the airdrop was calculated at 52k, those 0.00057 are now worth 27$.
Really ain't that bad if we're just looking number wise, but freakin mainstream media is going to take this opportunity to once again crap on Bitcoin that's for sure. " Bitcoin airdrop to El Salvadorians immediately dropped 10% in value" or some crap. |

If you transferred money through your bank, contact them immediately.
If you transferred bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies, lesson learned.
.. I mean, the exchange is called "BITCHem".
